Not having to own a car can be expensive luxury in the US. In most places, you either have to have a lot of money or very little. If you have a lot of money, you can buy yourself a place to live near where you work, or, better yet, buy a company and move its HQ close to your home. If you have very little money, you are sacrificing your time and opportunity by being car free, but you have little choice.
From the OED: "... identical with the racial name Sclavus (see Slav), the Slavonic population in parts of central Europe having been reduced to a servile condition by conquest; the transferred sense is clearly evidenced in documents of the 9th century." Our word "slave" comes from the ethnic designation.

That is good real estate porn. Nice to see that you can still find something comfortable near Berkeley if you have $5 million to spend.
